HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 cc372-3W
Mr. Robert Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment has been made as to whether current police motor cycles in use with the Metropolitan Police will be able to pass the noise during acceleration tests included in the most recent EEC directives on motor cycle noise.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis informs me that the Metropolitan police have not carried out any assessment of motor cycles currently in use because there is no requirement under existing or proposed EC directives for the operator as opposed to the manufacturer to do so.
